LETS START IF OFF RIGHT

2012-12-21T13:09:00.000-05:00

As another year fades away and we step into a new year; The question then arises "Did you grow in 2012? If the answer is IDK or NO then this post is for you. If the answer is YES, read it anyway..lol.. Each year millions of Americans (including me) make New Year resolutions, That goes something like this.."I'm not going to _______________or I"m going to start___________ and we really mean it, but you know how life is, It has a way of changing our well thought out plans into just that "thoughts. I'm going to do something different this year. I'm not going to make plans to lose weight or start a book club. I'm going to look to Christ. That means; I'm no longer going after my own desires...I'm going to read more in the hopes of developing a better relationship with the father (2 Timothy 2:15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God. I'm going to love more (1 Corinthians 13:13) The bible declares that love is the greatest gift of all. And last but not least I'm going to spread the Gospel more (Mark 16:15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

The bible tells us to be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind! (Romans 12:2) I believe that each year we should grow in Wisdom, Power, Love & Faith...I've found that I'm unable to do these things without the help of the Father. God is the one that gives us the power to move from day to day ( 2 Timothy 1:7) I believe (know) that without him we're just roaming the earth without a cause. I encourage everyone that's reading this blog to challenge yourself, by making 2013 the year of growth (spiritually). It's not hard, It's as simple as opening the manual of life (the bible). If you have a relationship with him that's great, I challenge you to read more, give more..If you don't that's even better because he's waiting for you! The bible states that he's waiting at the door for you to welcome him in (Revelation 3:20) Let this be the year of real transformation....God bless....

The Star Whitney Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012)

2012-02-19T22:12:00.001-05:00

Whitney Houston was truly an amazing woman..she had style and grace...and her voice was one of a kind.. I'm sure her music and movies will be played for many years to come...I pray for her daughter, mother, family and friends...May the lord keep them and give them strength...Ms. Huston is gone but will never be forgotten..

Whitney had the voice of an angel...and the way she would sing a song you could tell that she put her all into it. I know she loved music but I'm sure she loved her daughter and mother much more...

Children are a gift from God I'm sure Whitney would agree.. after a few failed attempts finally came Bobbi Kristina.

A mothers love..

Tomorrow is never promised and we all must leave this earth. I pray that before you do, that you and the father have a close relationship. If you're not sure call on him and he'll show up.. seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. God bless.

I really like these Jimmy Choo moon boots. Yes I'm an animal print wearing girl.... I know there's a few of you out there, that's not into animal prints; but for you animal print lovers these are a definite yes! but for the non animal print lovers Jimmy has something for you as well (look below)

These ultra-luxe waxed suede Jimmy Choo boots with patent trim are a hit this winter..

Here's the classic Uggs..these boots can be worn year round..no!! :-)

Hunter is really know for their stylish rain boots..I hope their winter boots are just as nice as their rain boots...I like these leather knee high fleece lined boots..... because of the lining they should be pretty warm.

Burryberry is one of my favorite designers.. From the clothes to the shoes I love them...I'm feeling these traditional weather storm boots.

I love these Louis Vuitton winter boots... there good for warmth and style.

These Gucci st Moritz fur-trimmed sued boots are nice for the winter season.

I'm not really a fan of these moon boots..but I'm sure someone out there love's them..these are made by Fendi.

I love these Chanel Lace-up boots in calfskin with tweed gaiters ..Don't know how warm they'll keep your feet..but they sure are stylish.

Last but not least, we have the classics Timberland's..... You can't go wrong with a pair of these boots..I don't think these boots will ever go out of style..I know the maker or makers of Timberland boots are high fiving each other right now. lol

I love scarves so I decided to post a few... Here's a Giant Check Cashmere Scarf by Buryberry...I absolutely love it! You can't go wrong with a nice scarf.. it can actually make an outfit.

Tory Burch is a designer that's making a hit with me, I love their shoes and bags...I'm liking this Red Russian Logo knit scarf. It's really cute. I would do this with a nice pair of jeans.

Here's a scarf by True Religion... I know we all love their jeans..So I'm wondering how their scarves will measure up..... This can be worn with jeans or business casual.

Gucci!!!!!...The name speaks for itself..I'm loving this Gucci pattern scarf with the rabbit fur and fringe....yes, yes, yes!!

I love their boots..... So I'm sure I'll love their scarves...Here's the long pile shearling snood scarf by Uggs.

So as long as we have to deal with the dreadful cold we might as well make a few heads turn :-) God bless...

COLOR BLOCKING!

2011-12-12T10:43:00.000-05:00

We've all heard of color blocking your cloths....Well how about color blocking your make up....No blending just allowing the colors to stand out by themselves... I'm loving the pink on the top and green at the bottom .... this works for me..It's bold and daring..And I say dare to be different.

I can just image the outfit you could pull off with this orange and blue... I love it!!!!

Oh yes I'm loving this pink, smoke and white..this was applied just right..Her eyes looks great!

I like the orange with the pink....Could you do it!?!

Ok so this black, red and white is a little more like me.....Not to much and not to little..this gets a yes vote from me.

Now this is what I call color blocking..Don't be afraid to add more than one color..You know the saying the more the merrier ..so add on!

So who's going to be the BOLD one and try more than one color!?!?! Try it I dare you :-)

WINTER TIME!!!!!!

2011-12-10T08:16:00.000-05:00

It's that time of the year ..Yes winter time wanted or unwanted It's here...Don't know about you all but it's unwanted for me if I neveeeeer ( ok I'm getting to wrapped up in my emotions) back to the blog.. well since it's here we might as well look cute right?!?!? well here's a few coats I thought would set it off this winter..Here's a wool pea coat from Burberry that I absolutely love..It's an everyday wear and it's very classy.. however the price tag is not so friendly... are you ready for this>>> $2,595.00 now to me that's a lot but to each his own.... If you're interested this coast can be found on Burberry.com.

Now I don't want you all thinking that I shop at these high end stores and don't care about thee everyday woman.. that so not the case.... I've found a jacket that's just as nice as the burberry (cost berry if u ask me) This jacket can be found on Jcpennys.com for 39.99.

I also like the puff coats (as I call them) North face is a popular brand that people are wearing these day....This green color really works for me... Easy to keep clean and you can wear it with whatever...... The price for this coat is $289.00 not so bad right?!? This coat can be found on North face.com

So since I'm into saving a few bucks.... Here's a coat that I thought would do just as well as the North face.....This coat can be found on target.com for $59.00. So it's up to you....you can be fashionable either way...rather u spend a million bucks or a few bucks ( relatively speaking )

Got Hair?

2011-12-09T22:08:00.000-05:00

I'm such a hair Freak!!! ( LOL) I love all types of hair but my Favorite has got to be the the long curls. Here's a picture of singer Leona Lewis sporting the medium brown hair with the bang ..she is working it!!!

I also like to play with different color's Here's actress Gwyneth Paltrow rocking the long blond curls.....this look works for me.......I even like the brown roots.

Actress Jesscia Alba is wearing the Auburn brown with the light brown highlights....this is my most desired look.... this color will work for any girl.
